"Is it anything good Gurukk?" Respen says as he cleans off his blade and sheathes the weapon and looks around to make sure no creatures are ready to pounce on them. "Thedrin you taking the ear? I'm sure an ogre ear would earn more then a small orcs ear, and it makes a better trophy hehe."

Respen feels the weight of the rapier, the energy washes over him making him feel more redeemed as if it is a sign for this holy weapon to find its way to his hand.....

I would say that your alignment has been shifting back towards redemption.....and that you can weild the weapon.

Leaving behind the great Ulfe to his room, and heading back to the long hall do you turn left (round the short corner to another room) or right (back down the long hall to the room at the end of the hall)?

At the end of this passageway stands the statue of a fierce-looking dwarf in heavy mail armor. The stone warrior holds a sword in one hand and a smith’s hammer in the other. The statue stands on a large stone pedestal; the whole structure is about 7 feet tall and must weigh many hundreds of pounds.

The statue appears to be of a dwarven defender, the magical energies of the cloud would have been benificial to defenders, seems odd that the Orcs have steered clear of the area, perhaps fearing being turned into dwarves by the magic.
